The star of Bethlehem which 1909 years ago guided the wise men, is said to appear only at intervals of 500 years, so you had better look for it while it isin the heavens, as you will proba- bly be too old when next it makes its appearance.

It would appear from the follow- ing declaration that the citizens of Grand Rapids do not take kindly to the proposed raise of telephone rates. The signatures below are those of eighty business men of the town. Itis said that each signer declares his intention to stand by the propo- sition if the company persists in its plan to increase the rental charges. Many hold that the local service is not and never has been satisfactory and until improyement is givon and guaranteed it matters very little whether we have telephone service or not. We, the undersigned subscribers, hereby mutually agree to have our telephones removed and discontinued in case the Mesaba Telephone Co. in- creases the rates for service.

Equitable reapportionment of the State will .give northern Minnesota larger representation in the state legislature, and that’s why it will be so strenuously opposed by the lower part of the state. Northern Minne- sota has increased wonderfuliy in population within the past few years and will increase at a far greater rate from now on, while some lower portions of the state are standing still and others are going backward. We of the north are entitled to bet- ter than we are receiving, and it will be only after the hardest kind of a fight that we can secure that which justly belongs to us.—Mesaba Ore, Hibbing. Stumps Still There. Some weeks ago there ‘emanated from one Larry Nolan, a farmer liy- ing near the town of Newbold, Wis., the story of how easy it was to efface stumps from the earth by the use of nitric and sulpburic acid. All that was necessary was to bore a two-ineh hole in the stump, fill the hole with a mixture of the two acids, close the hole with paraffine and go to sleep. In the course of thirty days the owner of the stump could go out issue were: Lewis Bechlich, Bayey, | with shovel and spread the disia- tegrated remains around for a fer- tilizer. Acting on this suggestion a number of farmers have tried the ex- periment, and the chief results up to date have been a considerable boom in the acid market. The stumps are still there. The old method of dig- ging them out aud then hitching a team to them and bauling them to the edge of the field for a fence, is still the least expensive way to get rid of them, though if a stick of dynamite 1s placed under them and fired they are readily detached from their original resting place. The Angelus. At St. Joseph’s Catholic church the new bell rings out sonoriously, three ; times a day, at 7 o’clock in the morn- ing, 12 at noon and 6 inthe evening. It signifies the old custom of the good Catholic to remember the Lord’s nativity. In Catholic countries no- body, at whatever work the faithful Catholic is detailed, at the stroke of the bells at these hours, stops work and recites the prayer that follows: The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary: and she conceived of the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary, etc. Behold the handmaid of the Lord; May it be done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary, etc. And the word was made flesh; and dwelt among us. Hail Mary, etc. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God; That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Pour fourth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace 1nto our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the messaze ofan angel, may by His passion and cross be breught to the glory of His resur- rection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. It is this prayer that Millet’s fa- mous picture hints at when it exbib- its the farmer and his wife out in the fields working, but apparently hav- |ing rested from the work and with | bent heads, seek consolation from the only source it cao come. Editors—An Essay. A little boy in town was given the stunt by his father to write an essay on Editors, and here is the result: “LT don’t know how newspapers {come to be in the world. I think God dues for he haint got noth- ing to say about them and editors in the Bible. I think the editor is one of the missing links you read of, and Stayed in the bushes until after the flood; and then came wut and wrote the thing up, and has been here ever since. I don’t think he ever aies. I | never saw a dead one and never heard of one getting licked. Our paper is }a mighty good one; but the editor | goes without underclothes all winter and don’t wear any sovks and paw ain’t paid his subscription since the paper started. I ast paw if that was why the editor had to suck the juse out of snow balls in winter aud gu to don’t bed when he had his shirt washt in summer. And then paw took me out into the woodshed and he lickt me awful hard. If the editor makes a mistake folks say he ought to be hung; but if a doctor makes any mis- takes he buries them and people das- sent say nothing because doctors can read and write latin. When the editor makes a mistake there is law- suits, and swearing and a big fuss; butif a doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut fiowers and perfek sil- ence. A dovtor can use a word a yard long without him or anybody else Knowing what it means; but if the editor uses one he has to spell it. lf the doctor goes to see another man’s wife he charges for the visit; but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buckshot. When the doc- tor gets drunk itis a case of being overcome by the heat and if he dies itis heart trouble; when an editor gets drunk itis a case of too much j booze and if he dies it is the jim- jams."’—Rapid River Hustler. SPEAK ENGLISH OR AVOID WOODS Lumberjacks Who Require Inter- preters Are No Longer Pop- ular in Camps. “A pew requirement has been tacked on to the category of virtues demanded of the festive lumberjack. Very few employers this winter will engage 4 man who cannot speak the English language,” says the Duluth | News Tribune. “That sounds queer. in America,” said one of the employment agents yesterday, ‘“‘but it’s getting to be a very sober fact. We have directions from nearly every one of the logging firms that do business with us to se- lect, if possible, only the class of men who can talk fluently in English, and only in a pinch to hire a man who has not taken the pains to acquire a speaking knowledge of the country to which he comes to live. “Camp foremen have become weary of the class of foreign work- mep that have been infesting the woods in recent years, when labor was scarce, who often required the use of an interpreter to receive the simplest instructions. The camp bosses are taking their revenge this year and have fired all interpreters, | along with the men who do not know how to talk United States. “Many of the foreign workmen who come to this country to supply the demand for common labor do not take the trouble to become reason- ably well versed in the English lan-| guage. Some of them cannot acquire a speaking knowledge, apparently be- causé of mental shortcomings, but most of them do not have the incli- nation and prefer to retain all their old country habits and the old coun- try speech. “It’s up to the lumberjack to make good now, however, for the camp bosses are getting more and more finicky about It and have put a de- termined kibosh on the foreign jar- gon.” ‘Times are rather dull in the labor market just now. Very few camps were started up during the past week, but two small ones will begin work this week, one at Deer River and the other near Hibbing, anda few more are expected to start in a few days. The usual holiday switching of workmen in the woods will begin in a few days and the demand from the camps will then be accelerated. Every year the woodsmen get rest- less along about Christmas time, and laboring under the uncomfortable weight of too much money, depart from their pine-flavored abodes to take surcease in bad booz This annual restlessness is expect- ed to show its beginning soon, and the jobs the woodsmen leave vacant will speedily be filled by men who have not yet tasted of the joys of a full pocket book.
